SecondSlip Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I really like the idea of having both Pandya brothers bat at #6 & #7 for us in ODI cricket. Since they are both batting all-rounders, we can count on both bros to provide much needed firepower in our lower order since batting will be their main strength. Both Pandya's are big hitting attacking batsmen and can help take the game away from the opposition and help India win countless matches with their willow. Another plus point with this idea is that Krunal is a very tidy left arm spin bowler and his bowling will be very useful in the subcontinent where we play 90% of our cricket. Krunal and Hardik can both chip in with 4-6 overs each and complete the 5th bowler's 10 overs quota whereas our 4 front line specialist bowlers can complete the other 40. Having 2 batting all-rounders in the top 7 is a great luxury, they can balance out the team in a lot of ways. India can use Krunal and Hardik similarly to how Team England use Ben Stokes & Moeen Ali. But the question remains; Can Krunal Pandya bat at #6 in place of Jadhav/Shankar/Raina? express bowling and RAZPOR 2 Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 We need a package like him, wnt say he has earned it But in regds to team's need and balance we need to try him out to give us more options to try different types of combinations sandeep 1 Link to comment
express bowling Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Krunal probably has the ability to bat at No.6 in ODIs. Whether he will actually succeed.... only trying him will tell us. He needs to be tried in ODIs asap. RAZPOR 1 Link to comment
express bowling Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Krunal can also be the back-up batting all-rounder if Hardik is injured. In that case, we play 3 specialist pacers and another spinner. Link to comment
Pollack Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 With Krunal one may or may not get instant performance in internationals. He is not supremely talented in either bowling or batting. But if he is invested in and backed he would definitely return much higher returns than Jadeja ever did and in short time. Link to comment

In that case, we play 3 specialist pacers and another spinner. Or we can play both brothers and still have 3 specialist pacers in the team. We can play a lower order similar to this: 6. Krunal 7. Hardik 8. Bhuvi 9. Shami 10. Kuldeep / Chahal 11. Bumrah This will give us 2 batting allrounders + 3 specialist pacers + wrist spinner. But if we are to go forward with an attack like this, its very important for Krunal to be a good enough batsman who can bat at #6, hence why I have opened this thread! sandeep and express bowling 1 1 Link to comment

I had suggested a similar lineup in other threads. : ) I think Krunal has the game to bat at 6 ..... but whether he has the temperament for ODIs, only giving him chances will tell. Shastri is a big fan of both the Pandya bros and that may help his cause. SecondSlip 1 Link to comment
Rasgulla Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Question would be.. did he do anything special in A tour to even qualify to play for First teamlong way to go. Link to comment

Texan Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 We absolutely positively must try him. Both Pandya brothers have that clean striking ability that is so crucial for batsmen who bat at 6 & 7 in ODIs. Jadhav or Pandey should play at 5 and Dhoni bat at 4. Have Pandya brothers come in at 6 & 7. 6. Krunal 7. Hardik 8. Bhuvi 9. Kuldeep 10. Chahal 11. Bumrah Hopefully Bhuvi can continue his decent batting form also and be a competent number 8.

Good. Better still, write a 10 page letter. For all the lack of wickets, he still has a decent ER and bowls well at the death and is leagues better in ODIs than the bowler with the worst Economy Rate in this decade. beetle 1 Link to comment

He is just too profligate and sometimes gets wickets while batsmen are attacking him. That's not the same as being "wicket-taking". Link to comment
